Five Questions for Benjamin Marcantonio

I basically make sure that public health, safety and welfare is intact by following codes of the state of New York and town of Moreau.

2 Is there a lot of growth in Moreau?

There are currently 20 new single-family homes under construction. It’s not just one area. It’s pretty spread out. Developments are still growing, plus a lot of people are upgrading existing homes with things like new decks and new room additions.

3 Does your job require formal training?

In addition to regular job duties, I’m in the process of becoming a New York state-certified code enforcement officer. It’s a sixth-month training program. I’ve always been interested in building trades.

4 Where did you work previously?

I spent three years at GlobalFoundries as a senior logistics technician in the clean room, where semiconductor wafers are made. It was interesting, but also involved a lot of nights and weekends. I like my new schedule much better. We live in South Glens Falls so I can spend more time with my family. I’m only five minutes from home.

5 What do you do outside of work?

My wife, Heather, and I have three children — Koral (9), Leyton (7) and Gianna (5). All three are involved in Adirondack Youth Hockey. I coach all three. In August, AYHA coaches and their families are taking a camping trip to Lake Durant in the Adirondacks. It should be a nice time. I’m really looking forward to it.
